Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Try this Mediterranean Orzo Salad with the flavor kicked up to another level with Avocado Crack!

Avocado Crack is the World's First Seasoning Made for Avocados. After one sprinkle, it takes no time to realize that the savory, balanced flavor of Avocado Crack goes with basically everything!

This Mediterranean Orzo Salad is no different, as it is packed with veggies that pair fantastically with Avocado Crack seasoning!!!

If you have never tried Orzo before, I am here to encourage you to add it to your grocery list. What looks like rice, is actually a rice shaped pasta! I used a Whole Wheat Orzo (gotta get my healthy on this summer!) and I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't met with a pot of mushy surprise. The texture was perfect and the Orzo loved marrying with the addicting flavor of Avocado Crack!

I used Avocado Crack Low Sodium for this recipe because it called for 2 types of olives, and feta cheese, and those are salty on their own. 

This salad can be stored for up to a week although it won't last that long, I guarantee it! The flavors marinate together over night, so make sure you keep that in mind if you're planning to take it to the cookout! 

Let's get to the recipe!
